Insightful lessons

These are the lectures I wish I had taken in college. Benjamin is an excellent instructor and guide!
Why I listen
11 oct.
Hardcore Literature makes me glad to be alive. Benjamin is a most congenial companion. His insights on Tess of the D’Urbervilles contains tales and insights I had not considered. I NEED King Lear and Shakespeare, and I yearn for more insight into Blood Meridian and Middlemarch (which I love wallowing in). Benjamin is a treasure of the English language. Most highly recommended!
Great content - rushed delivery
14 oct.
I love the topics covered, as well as the depth and flow of the episodes. My single critique is on the performance/delivery of the material. The host has a pleasant voice but I think I would appreciate the episodes more of the cadence were slowed down a bit, and some pauses introduced. I sometimes feel like I can hardly process one word after the other to keep up, let alone engage with the depth of ideas and analysis being presented.
In the worst of times…

… I can no longer concentrate to read for any kind of solace whatsoever. It’s so depressing I need to feel safe to have the Leisure to read. I do not feel safe.
